Will The Long Bone Of Fetus Measuring 5th Percentile A Serious Concern?

Hi I m 22 yrs old and I m 38weeks pregnant for my 3rd baby. I had my ultrasound and the doctors found out that my baby s long bone was measured at 5th percentile. I m really worried, can you explain why and what could happen? Is it very short for my baby s age? Sooner or anytime I ll be giving birth. Thank you so much.

HI
Well come to HCM
It is almost 38 weeks completed and now you are about to give a birth to child so no need to take this finding seriously because what ever it may be that would come before, but if this is finding of long bone then this may not be the matter of concern, hope this helps.
I find this answer helpful
